Grand Calming
More actions
The Grand Calming or Gepmir Miracle in Faltir was a weather event on 18-1 1 PC which saw the great storms surrounding the Attu Archipelago begin to recede and the turbulent seas begin to calm.
Background
Before 18-1 PC much of the world was covered in a vast near-impenetrable storm that kept the cultures and wildlife of nearby islands separate, allowing them to develop independently.
Calming
On 18-1 PC the portion of the storm that surrounded the Attu Archipelago ceased.
The event forced the Kingdom of Akaria, Caseic Federation, Haute eee, the Holy Republic of Faltir, the Collective Kel-Elemi Republic, the Nation of Niueyjar, Oniver, the Kingdom of Tietero, the Republic of Utlia and the Yotumic Divisionary Federation to discover and interact with each other for the first time in recorded history.
Reactions
Akaria
The Grand Calming caused great panic across all levels of Akarian society. Living King, Harakar Oken met with the Council of Akaria on 24-1 1 PC and with the council's approval, issued his first four dictates which gave the Living King the power to make treaties with other nations, to organise Akaria's forces how he saw fit beyond their borders and to create what was essentially Kadrike Law beyond the borders of Akaria. Before this point, the Living King was mostly a ceremonial role.
Fatlir
In Faltir the Grand Calming is known as the Gepmir Miracle. A week-long holiday was declared from the day of the calming.
Utlia
On Utlia, the Grand Calming was seen as an act by Azzta to reward the Utlian people, this theory was prominent among the Utlian citizens. The Republic of Utlia government chose to have the Utlian National Defense force on standby while the island leadership began to formalize relations with the newly discovered archipelago.
